MUSEO DE BELLAS ARTES DE CASTELLON - Contemporary Architecture in Spain











CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Castellon
The city's area of monuments is to be found around the Plaza Mayor. The Santa Maria cathedral, destroyed in the Civil War of 1936 and later rebuilt, has preserved its three original Gothic doorways, dating from 1382 to 1435, the finest era of Valencia Gothic architecture. Nearby, the octagonal Torre del Fadri has always been a symbol of Castellon. It acts as the city's bell tower, though it is a secular building. The Provincial Museum, installed in an eighteenth-century house and inaugurated in 1980 when collections from two previous museums were brought together, exhibits valuable examples of Iberian art, a large collection of ceramics from Alcora, Onda and Manises, a good collection of paintings by Jose Ribera, Teniers and Sorolla, and sculptures by Benlliure.
On the Playa del Pinar, to the north of Grao, the Planetarium has two telescopes for observing the heavens. It has a 25-metre dome, and several rooms for exhibitions and cultural activities. It houses a sample of the great biological variety that exists in the Columbretes islands.
